Im posting this here as i think it will be awnserd best.. I have a june 55 single cab,i know its not a BD.It is going to recive a bug trans in it. As far as i know bug tranny will bolt right in a BD with out the need for offset spring plates.just needs the front nose mount work.Is this the same for the wolfsburg buses? Will i need offset spring plates for the 55? Is the rear tortion set up the same in my 55 as it is in a BD? thanks for any help..

Post barndoor will need extended tubes or offset plates. Wolfover buses do have same crossmember as BD but the springplate width is different than BD.
